Cedars

Main Street, Leicester LE5 6DN

The Cedars was built in the 1830s in classical style as an upper-class private house. The novelist E Phillips Openheim lived here; a later resident was a director of Liberty Shoes. It became a hotel in 1937-1938 and the two side wings were added at this time. Was run by Ansells for some years; now part of a small pub chain King Henry's Taverns. The interior is nicely refurbished with two rooms. On the left is a large carpeted bar with sports TV. On the right is a lounge, extended to dining areas down steps. At the back is a delightful patio and sunken garden with big trees, rockeries and a fish-pond, which is fed from a waterfall under a footbridge. A modern family-dining extension rear-right has panoramic windows overlooking the pond. Food all day from an extensive menu, and many of the meals are keenly priced.

Cherry Tree

43 East Bond Street, Leicester LE1 4SX

A three-storey former hotel situated within Leicester’s Church Gate conservation area, still boldly displaying the M&B Mitchells & Butlers logo on the front elevation wall. The small public bar is reminiscent of the front room of a terraced house. Adjoining the bar is a pool table room. There is also a separate lounge bar. The curtilage of the partially covered back yard is circumscribed by the walls of the neighbouring historic Great Meeting School which is an early 18th century Grade II listed building built in the gothic revival style.

Clarendon

7-9 West Avenue, Leicester LE2 1TS

The Clarendon reopened in summer 2019 after a refurbishment. Originally three rooms, the interior has been modernised and you can now walk through between the bar and the lounge. The decor now includes floorboards and 'butchers' block' tables. There is aso a modern conservatory. The pub retains a relaxed and traditional locals' character. Sports TVs are evident in both rooms, and the pub is popular on match days.

Corn Exchange

Market Place, Corn Exchange, Leicester LE1 5GG

There have been buildings on the Corn Exchange site since the early 16th century, when a building called the Gainsborough contained shops and a dungeon. The present Grade II* listed classical building in stuccoed brick was built in 1850-1856 and is very much the focal point of Leicester’s 700 year old market. As the name suggests The Corn Exchange was originally where farmers and merchants traded cereal grains. This was operated as a pub by Watney-Manns in the 1980s. It was reopened as a Lloyds No.1 bar in July 1998 by Mansfield Brewery, after extensive refurbishment; then acquired by Wetherspoons in 2000. The pub consists of one enormous room with a central bar and a mezzanine first floor. There are TVs and musak, which tend to be relatively quiet during the day, when the pub is popular with market shoppers. In the evening, the music volume is turned up, and a younger clientele is attracted.
